A standalone application is totally fine, in my opinion. I don't think a shared links application belongs in the core though (in which case you don't need to propose it). > I currently don't see this feature integrated into contacts or chat > honestly.

As I've already said, I think this could make sense in contacts (as part of a 'related stuff' feature) or in chat (perhaps as a conversation filter). Remember - people look for things in the last place they saw them.
